[HD2 General] mdskrzypczyk:
Well since Android is progressing well and they've started getting the camera working (I know this from HTC-Linux's Twitter) and since Android can actually play 720p as opposed to when Winmo is running it can't. And with the camera hack for the Nexus One that allowed it to record 720p I was just theorizing that there may be a possibility of recording 720p on HD2 while you're running Android? To me it would make sense but I know nothing of hardware specs vs software vs decoding speed vs screen resolution so I was curious as to what all other people reading this thread or Developers may have to say to this.
[HD2 General] mdskrzypczyk:
Bump...........
[HD2 General] anrabi4:
Indeed it would be nice to have HD recording on HD2, but you'll still have to take into consideration the fact that it is still early and lots of other bugs need to be fixed before such "luxurious" details can be looked over by the devs. :P
[HD2 General] elgrego4:
Not to mention the fact that the sound on the video recorder on the hd2 is bloody awful to say the least. I used to have an n95 and that wiped the floor with the hd2. I would be more interested in better sound.
[HD2 General] polo735:
The HD2's photo quality is limited by the lens, not the operating system on the phone. The N95 features a Carl Zeiss lens which enables it to take great pictures. Resolution is highly overrated when it comes to photo quality.
[HD2 General] Aqrab:
im not with you in this

see (dont forget to put it at high quality 480p on youtube for best quality)

one of the best videos i recorded

but i also want 720p :p
[HD2 General] mdskrzypczyk:
I know I may sound stupid and I'll accept peoples input if this does but I just think that if the Nexus One camera can get a hack to support 720p and the HD2 was relatively released in the same 3-4 month period (may seem long I know) it just makes me think that the HD2's camera should qualify for getting the same hack when running android and yes it does deal with winmo because HD2 can't run 720p videos normally through the Winmo OS but as demonstrated the Linux Kernel on HD2 was able to play a 720p HD video.
[HD2 General] mdskrzypczyk:
Just tried the new Desire V4 Build and it indeed has camera support so if any dev wants to look into it by all means.
[HD2 General] chuck232:
Nah, I would bet it's the sensor more than anything.
[HD2 General] elgrego4:
I'm not talking about the pic quality, its the sound quality. It is very distorted and tinny. I was at a concert with my gf who recorded the same song on her average sony phone. The difference in the quality was shocking.
[HD2 General] stoolzo:
I actually think the video and picture performance are quite good, then again I came from a touch HD which was terrible. There is no hardware reason why this phone cannot do, in fact the hardware can defo record / decode HD but how easy it will be to get this to work in Andriod is anyones guess.

I am actually planning to keep this phone a while as IMHO it is still the best looking phone out there, the droids are too clunky and the samsungs are about 3 years behind in design.

I'm hoping we can get a full working full installable ROM soon so I can ditch winmo altogether.

Then again I only have 11 months left on my HD2 so something else may catch my eye - I dont think it will be winmo7 though as it looks dull as fnck.
[HD2 General] lonelykatana:
yes the n95s lens was a zeiss, but that was just a name!

The lens was cheap thin glass, just like any other mobile phone lens ever made. There is a reason zeiss prime lenses go for £20k and upwards, I agree with you on that!

and your spot on about resolution being no way near as important as a good sized sensor, and good optics.

But one of the main reasons mobile phone video looks so crap, is the low resolution its always been recorded at! You look at some phones that can record 720 and it looks a damn sight better than the vga recordings, Mostly because It doesn't need to be stretched out and destroted like low res' video does
[HD2 General] mdskrzypczyk:
I definately haven't experienced problems with the mike for the HD2, I've recorded videos with my friends and they come out very well in reference to sound and there IS alot of sound in a concert so I wouldn't be surprised if audio you recorded at a concert would sound bad.
[HD2 General] mdskrzypczyk:
I always did wonder why the HD2's video quality only went up to VGA even though it has a WVGA screen, 0.o.
[HD2 General] elgrego4:
What im trying to point out is that lots of other (older, cheaper) phones record better sound. My missus used a w995 and It is much better sound.
[HD2 General] stoolzo:
granted sound probably isnt the HD2's stongpoint but the video performance is comparable with other models. Yes it could be better but it will only get better though enabling it in Android.
[HD2 General] m4sta2k:
Any update on the 720p on htc hd2 ??? I would pay the person 100 us dollars if they get the 720p recording on htc hd2 with android !!
[HD2 General] Dani01c:
lol! mine records in WVGA(800x480) and has the option to record 720p(1280x720) but when i try it camera shuts down.. so the best a can record is WVGA plus the frame rate seems to be a bit smoother than normal HD2 VGA recording
[HD2 General] mmendez92:
how does it have that option? and cant that just be a vid codec error?(which can be fixed)
[HD2 General] Axel85:

i see in a rom, someone says he did record 720p with 2.3.4 rom. I dont know if its joke or real. Still waiting for the evidence.
[HD2 General] motoi_bogdan:
it does record at 720p but pretty bad fps - about 3-5fps i suppose. I installed that rom and i'm running it from sd card. Maybe it could get better results if it was run from nand and without sense ui.

LE: hahah, nice one. the file is 3gp with a crappy compression rate, it looks uglier then the 800x480 standard recordings on hd2. Also, frame rate is still very low. 720p mode on that rom = useless

hey guys, i just bought my hd2 this week from ebay and it freezes up already usually when i'm trying to use htc messaging or trying to login to the facebook app, so i am seeking to fix this... i have searched through the forums and got a little bit of an idea on roms and hardspl... in my software info. it says under rom version: "Artemis A 22.0 WWE".. this is a cooked rom yes? and if so does that mean i can just go ahead and flash a different rom without having to flash the hardspl?

sorry if there's a thread on this already but i couldnt find anything that fully answers my questions

thanks in advance
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] watcher64:
It should mean that HSPL is already and still on there, but it may not be, HSPL is only needed to flash the ROM and could be removed after the custom ROM is on there ... best way is to go into the bootloader, (hold vol down, power on) and look to see if HSPL is on there, save you a headache before you flash.

If it is not on there search for HSPL3 and load'er up ...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kalavere:
This is what you are looking for, read it carefully and it will explain everything you need to know about flashing a new ROM.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] polo735:
The whole flashing process seems a lot more difficult than it seems. You can flash via USB connection or via SD. The USB connection requires a windows PC. You need to install HSPL, 3 is the latest version. HSPL allows a custom Rom. For both steps you need to have an active sync connection. You download the hspl, radio, or rom file. Open the RUU file and there will be a GUI guiding you through the process. Just read as much as you can to avoid mistakes.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m1tchem:
thanks for the help guys... seems to have hspl after all... and the freezing issue pretty much dissapeared when i turned off htc sense and just used windows default

Swype Voice Input Button Coming Soon – Already Present On Samsung Galaxy S And Motorola Droid X

Is this true? Is there a way to get to voice input from the Swype keyboard? If so.... I can't find it.

Edit: I posted this to the wrong forum. Mods... Please move it to General or Development.

[Vibrant Themes and Apps] PowSniffer0110:
And you're not gonna link or upload or help at all? Sad..
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] ttabbal:
And you're not going to search at all? Also sad. :p

We can't upload it. XDA has banned all Swype APKs as they got threatened by the Swype company. So you need to find it yourself. It's really not that hard, google will turn it up. It kind of sucks to have to download a ROM dump for a small file, but that's copyright for you. If you look hard enough, you should be able to find a copy of just the APK on Rapidshare or similar. It seems people post them frequently enough.

Ask the Swype people to quit being morons so we can share the files directly. Or to just release a version for the Vibrant. It's not like the phone can't support it, I use it all the time. They probably want TMobile to pay more for that feature or something like that. It would be nice if they would just put it in the Market and let users choose to pay for it themselves if they want to.

Gday all i just installed the Energy Rom from manila version.

I had the BUUF and FallOut 3 Themes installed in manila and i would like to put them back on, i didnt want to do it just incase they dont work and brick the phone.

So i was wondering if i am able to put those themes back on the phone with the custom rom in currently using?

Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] Agent Zach:
It varies per ROM. I think NRGZ28 adds System/ROM/Read-Only attributes to some Manila Files, so you CAN install a Custom Theme without worry, but some manila parts might not properly 'skin'.

Try to install one of the themes, restart your device, and report back. I can help you further after you have installed and restarted, and posted back here.
[General Questions and Answers] gamecore:
OK, i installed the BUUF Theme with the following cabs,

Degake - Email tab

Rawrscary's - Buuf Tabs, Weather, Music (Manila 2.5.1921)

Sniper-worf -Buuf slider

Rawrscary - Buuf Digital Clock

They all seem to install ok and at this moment in time they all seem to be working without any errors.

Ill use my phone as per normal over the next couple of days and see how it goes and report back.
